Landed from Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam & Dubai — clean roads, working drains, walkable streets, zero chaos. Back in India: open gutters, garbage mountains, killer potholes, sewage rivers. The brutal truth? We've been scammed for decades. Our MLAs, MPs & municipalities loot our taxes while delivering filth and neglect. This isn't poverty or population — it's engineered betrayal and criminal governance.

Wake up !!

Name: Baikuntha Nath Behera
Position: Assistant Executive Engineer

He joined government service in 1999 as a Junior Engineer with a monthly salary of ₹6,000.

The Odisha Vigilance found
- More than ₹2 crore in cash
- 5 multi-storey buildings
- 13-14 high value land plots
- 341 grams of gold jewellery
- ₹45 lakh Bank deposits

His current salary is around ₹80,000 per month. Government service has become more about making money than serving the public. Bureaucracy has become a business these days.

WOWOWOW.

[Pankaj Arora 🇮🇳 @Panks_Arora]

The biggest competitor to Goa is no longer Kerala.

It is Vietnam and Thailand.

Imagine losing Indian tourists to countries that are 3,000-4,000 km away because they offer better value than a domestic destination.

A 5-day Vietnam trip today can cost almost the same as a Goa vacation during peak season.

Cleaner beaches.
Cheaper hotels.
Better transport.
No taxi mafia.

Indian tourists are no longer emotionally attached to destinations.
They go where they are treated better for the money they spend.

Vishwaguru Without Civic Sense?

Many Indians genuinely believe the world looks at us with admiration and awe. We are constantly told that India is becoming a “Vishwaguru.” A moral and cultural guide to humanity. But step outside India and observe carefully. The reality is often very different.

Across airports, hotels, beaches, public transport systems and tourist destinations worldwide, Indians are increasingly developing a reputation that should worry us deeply. Too many Indians travel abroad carrying entitlement instead of civic sense.

Anyone who has travelled extensively has seen it. Families speaking loudly inside silent trains in Japan. People cutting queues at airports in Europe. Tourists touching protected monuments despite repeated warnings. Groups blasting music on peaceful beaches in Thailand and Bali. Passengers aggressively arguing with airline staff over baggage rules that everyone else quietly follows. Some even proudly try “Indian tricks” abroad, sneaking extra people into hotel rooms, hiding food in restricted places, or treating every rule as a system to outsmart rather than respect.

In India, this behaviour is often romanticised as smartness or “jugaad.” Abroad, it is seen for what it actually is, dishonesty, disorder and lack of civic culture.

Not all Indians behave this way, of course. But enough do for the stereotype to now exist globally.

A few years ago, a viral incident from Bali showed an Indian family caught stuffing hotel accessories into their luggage. Hair dryers, decorative items and bathroom fittings. The defence was immediate, offering to pay once caught, as though money could erase the behaviour itself. The incident became social media comedy. But the deeper issue was the mindset. The belief that rules apply to others, not to us.

And unfortunately, this mindset travels with us everywhere.

We speak emotionally about India’s ancient civilisation. But civilisation is not measured by old scriptures alone. It is measured by how citizens behave in public spaces. Do we keep our surroundings clean? Do we respect silence where silence is expected? Do we follow rules without supervision? Do we think about the comfort of strangers?

Slowly, the consequences appear. More scrutiny at immigration. More stereotypes. More silent distancing. More frustration from hosts who no longer see Indian tourists as easy guests.

The uncomfortable truth is this. No country becomes respected because its citizens loudly declare themselves superior. Real respect is earned quietly. Japanese football fans clean stadiums after matches. Singaporeans follow rules even when there is no policeman in sight. Many European societies function smoothly because people treat public spaces with dignity and think collectively, not selfishly.

Meanwhile, many Indians increasingly mistake loud nationalism for global admiration. It is not the same thing.

If India genuinely wants respect on the world stage, we need less chest thumping and more introspection. Less obsession with “Vishwaguru” and more focus on civic sense, humility, honesty and discipline.

Because the world is judging us by how we behave when nobody is watching

[Options.India @Options_IndiaAB]

I recently spent 2 weeks in China.

6 cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing and Chengdu.

I went there with curiosity.

Like many Indians, I had heard a lot about China through media, social media and conversations. I expected to see progress, maybe discover some business ideas, and understand what the country is actually building.

I came back with a very uncomfortable feeling.

Not because I found a business idea for myself.

But because I saw 100 things that governments can do when infrastructure, tourism, transport, urban planning and civic systems are treated seriously.

I travelled within China by flights, trains, cars and local transport. The infrastructure was honestly stunning.

Clean cities. Smooth roads. High-speed trains. Well-managed traffic. Public spaces that actually feel designed for people. Tourist destinations that are built, maintained and promoted like national assets.

And then I kept thinking about India.

We keep comparing ourselves to China. Our media keeps telling us how India is catching up, how China is restrictive, how we are better in so many ways.

After spending time there and speaking to people, I realised how much of that narrative is just comfort food.

China is not perfect. No country is.

But on infrastructure, execution, tourism, civic discipline and quality of urban life, they are not 5 years ahead of us.

They are decades ahead.

The saddest part for me was the currency.

Everything felt expensive. Not because China was insanely expensive, but because the rupee has weakened so much that even normal spending starts feeling heavy. As an Indian taxpayer, that genuinely hurt.

We pay taxes. We work hard. We talk about becoming a global power.

But where is the quality of life?

Where is the civic sense?

Where is the infrastructure that makes daily life easier?

Where is the tourism vision beyond religious tourism?

I met travellers from other countries who were excited to visit China because they wanted to see its progress. When I asked about India, many had no real desire to visit. Not out of hate. India simply was not on their aspirational travel list.

That should bother us.

Even the so-called “closed internet” surprised me. We are told people there are missing out because they don’t use Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook.

But China has built its own digital ecosystem. Payments, maps, transport, messaging, shopping, everything works inside their own infrastructure. People did not seem to feel deprived. They seemed adapted.

Again, this is not a hate post.

I love India. That is exactly why this trip bothered me.

Patriotism cannot only be about saying we are great.

Real patriotism is having the courage to admit where we are falling behind.

China made me realise one thing very clearly:

India’s potential is not the problem.

Execution is.

And unless we stop comforting ourselves with comparisons and start demanding better infrastructure, better governance, better tourism, cleaner cities and a higher quality of life, we will keep celebrating the idea of progress instead of actually living it.

[Hims 🪷 🚴 🌱 🧘 @maveinlux]

India is the dirtiest country in the world and Indians are the most morally bankrupt people in the world that have absolutely no civic sense.

I know I will be trolled and abused for saying this but this is the fucking reality. Almost every city today is fucked up, the heritage is destroyed, people have somehow accepted the dilapidation of their infrastructure and the situation is so bad that if you try to fix it, you have to deal with uncouth and incompetent people.

India doesn’t have a tourism problem, it has a fucking civic sense problem.

As much as I would like, I find it hard to convince people to visit India. @ShenazTreasury

First the NEET paper leak affecting 22 lakh students.

Then CBSE Class 12 students receiving unexpectedly low marks from a broken OSM system - many losing their college eligibility.

Now lakhs of CBSE Class 9 students suddenly asked to learn a new language from July 1, with no teachers, no textbooks, and Class 6 books being handed to 14-year-olds as a “transitional” fix.

Three exams. Three age groups. One Minister.

Dharmendra Pradhan ji has not failed once. He has failed every single age group of India’s students at once.

Every announcement plunges children deeper into uncertainty. Every failure goes unpunished. The Education Ministry has become a department of disasters.

Prime Minister Modi ji - can you at least apologise to the lakhs of children whose futures you and your Minister have destroyed?

Strongly condemn the attacks on the UAE that resulted in injuries to three Indian nationals. Targeting civilians and infrastructure is unacceptable.

India stands in firm solidarity with the UAE and reiterates its support for the peaceful resolution of all issues through dialogue and diplomacy.

Ensuring safe and unimpeded navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is vital for enduring regional peace, stability and global energy security.

[Sann @san_x_m]

Her name is Durga Shakti Nagpal.

She was 27 years old. IAS officer. Posted as SDM in Greater Noida in 2012.

She discovered that sand was being illegally mined from the Yamuna and Hindon river banks every single night.

Rs 500 crore worth of sand was being looted every year.

She formed special squads. Led midnight raids herself. Seized 297 vehicles. Filed over 60 FIRs.

The mafia stopped her car on the road and brandished weapons at her.

She did not stop.

Then the state government stepped in.

On July 27 2013 she was suspended.

The official reason: demolishing a mosque wall and disturbing communal harmony.

The actual reason was widely known.She had hurt the sand mafia. And the sand mafia had friends in government.

The entire IAS community revolted. Over 1000 officers filed a petition. Kiran Bedi protested. The National Green Tribunal ordered a pan-India crackdown on sand mining.

After 57 days the suspension was revoked.

She was transferred.

In India the reward for honesty is a transfer.

The punishment for corruption is a promotion.

Honourable @PMOIndia and @FinMinIndia

We are losing Foreign Capital of almost $1 Bn a day. Since July 2024, post hike in capital gain tax and STT, we have lost $100 Bn and our markets have become globally unattractive .we need patient risk capital to fund our growth story.

It’s undoing the good work done through various reforms.

A responsive govt like yours has always taken feedback on taxation - GST, Income tax and given relief.

I urge you to reconsider.

[Shiladitya @shiladitya4u]

To be honest,This NDA govt has been the WORST EVER for Financial markets, period.
No Govt has done so much damage in terms of policies & taxation.

This Govt views stock market investors as 'rich' gamblers. Their goal is to extract as much as possible to fund the useless freebies

[#YeThikKarkeDikhao @YTKDIndia]

1. Rinku Singh cleared the PCS exam in 2004.

2. In 2009, he exposed a ₹100 crore pension and scholarship scam.

3. For exposing corruption, he was shot 7 times, with 2 bullets hitting his face.

4. He survived, recovered, and went on to become an IAS officer in 2022.

5. Now he has resigned, reportedly because he was denied a field posting.

6. This reflects a broken system where honest officers are sidelined while corrupt ones often get powerful field roles.

7. If the public does not stand with honest officers, integrity will keep being punished and corruption will keep thriving.

[Divya Gandotra Tandon @divya_gandotra]

A final-year law student, Rishi Kumar from Tamil Nadu National Law University, refuses to delete his blog criticising the Supreme Court… despite pressure from his own university.

Why?

Because the administration allegedly received calls from advocates, judges, and others claiming the post harms the institution’s “reputation.”

The blog titled “The Supreme Court of India Has No Spine” questioned the court’s decision to ban an NCERT textbook chapter on judicial corruption.

But here’s the real issue:
A law student is being told to silence himself… for expressing a legal opinion.

His response?

Clear and powerful:
“My opinions are mine… you do not own my voice or my conscience.”

He even said he’s ready to face disciplinary action rather than back down.

This isn’t just about one blog.

This is about academic freedom vs institutional pressure.

If law students… the future of the judiciary are discouraged from questioning the system,
then who exactly is allowed to question it?

Criticism of institutions ≠ disrespect.
Silencing criticism = weakening democracy.

[Venkatesh Alla @venkat_fin9]

Dear @nsitharaman @FinMinIndia , We're not asking for tax-free income. We're asking for VALUE. 32 to 36% tax for Singapore-level infrastructure? Done. 36% for Nordic healthcare? Fine. 36% for Swiss public transport? Sure. But 36% for potholed roads, collapsing bridges, and 6-hour power cuts? That's not tax. That's theft.
